White had emerged as a big-play receiver for Tide quarterback AJ McCarron. White caught a 9-yard pass from McCarron on Alabama’s third play of its opening series Saturday night but was injured later in the quarter.

The sophomore had eight catches for 105 yards and two touchdowns this season. He showed flashes of his quick-strike potential last season with 14 receptions for 151 yards and two scores.

“He was really playing well for us on special teams and really playing his position well offensively,” Saban said of White after Saturday’s game.

Hart injured his knee in the fourth quarter on a punt return. He missed all of last season with a knee injury and spent time returning punts and at running back this season for the Tide.

Hart returned four punts this season for 50 yards and was fourth on the team in rushing with 88 yards on 21 carries.

The top-ranked Crimson Tide beat Ole Miss on Saturday, 33-14, and is off this week before playing back-to-back road games at Missouri (Oct. 13) and at Tennessee (Oct. 20).
